ONE TOUCH CONTROL FOR ALL TYPES OF ANAESTHESIA<br />
CALAJECT effectively controls the anaesthetic flow rate across three programme settings. With one touch, users can ensure a smooth<br />
and gentle flow of the anaesthetic solution for intraligamental injections, infiltrations and regional nerve blocks to meet all local<br />
anaesthesia needs. Even palatal injections can be carried out with minimal to no discomfort for the patient.<br />
When it comes to the clinician’s comfort, the tactile, vibration-free handpiece and pen grip provides a relaxed and better working<br />
position where the needle can be kept perfectly still in situ. Now available with optional single-use, safe-sheathing barrels.<br />
Intraligamental Infiltration Palatal Regional nerve block<br />
“CALAJECT gives me the confidence of knowing my injections will always be delivered at a<br />
constant rate and at a speed appropriate for the procedure. This greatly enhances patient<br />
satisfaction. As many people reject treatment they need because of fear of the dental<br />
injection, taking away this concern is not only a relief for them but also improves my number<br />
of accepted treatment plans.“<br />

FEATURE<br />
Loupes – how do<br />
yours measure up?<br />
Paul Scott discusses the importance of<br />
custom-measured loupes<br />
Before you buy your next pair of loupes,<br />
or even your first pair of loupes, there’s<br />
a few things you should consider.<br />
Choosing loupes can be tricky. Do you go<br />
for the sporty ones, maybe the cheap pair<br />
you found on the internet, or do you go for<br />
the professionally measured, custom-fitted<br />
loupes that may be a little more expensive,<br />
but deliver beautiful magnification that<br />
exactly suits the type of work you’re doing?<br />
Any kind of loupe or loupe and light is<br />
costly if they don’t do the job, give you eye<br />
strain, which leads to headaches, or are<br />
heavy or uncomfortable to wear. That’s<br />
where a bit more research will probably<br />
lead to the conclusion that professionally<br />
custom-measured, custom-fitted loupes are<br />
worth their weight in titanium.<br />
It’s easy to find ready-made loupes on the<br />
internet and these might look like a good<br />
option; they’re probably fairly cheap and<br />
what have you got to lose? Unfortunately<br />
these loupes are usually set to ‘averages’<br />
and cannot be adjusted to your personal<br />
requirements. Internet purchased flip-ups<br />
require that you set these up yourself<br />
without any training and this is a difficult<br />
procedure and is often done incorrectly. This<br />
could lead to poor vision, eye strain and bad<br />
posture. Additionally they are often made<br />
of inferior materials, with flimsy frames and<br />
poor quality lenses and over time your eyes<br />
and posture can suffer as you accommodate<br />
for the deficiencies in the product. Good<br />
quality, well-measured loupes can really<br />
enhance your clinical work and make your<br />
daily practice more comfortable in both the<br />
short and long term.<br />
Posture and positioning<br />
Often when I talk to dentists many seem to<br />
have suffered, or are suffering from, a range<br />
of muscular skeletal difficulties. This seems<br />
to be increasingly commonplace as dentists<br />
are either seeing more patients, or the type<br />
of work they’re doing is more exacting and<br />
they find themselves having to get nearer<br />
to the patient to see what they are doing.<br />
I’m also seeing dentists where they have<br />
been provided with loupes, but the loupes<br />
themselves are making them adopt poor<br />
posture. A pair of well-measured, customfitted<br />
loupes with a light will not only allow<br />
you to see more, it will also allow you to<br />
work in perfect comfort without constant<br />
aches and pains.<br />
The working distance between the<br />
clinician’s eyes and the patient, together<br />
with the angle of declination – how much<br />
you tilt your head – need to be appropriate<br />
for the individual. Getting these two things<br />
correct minimises stress on the neck, back<br />
and shoulders, leading to a comfortable<br />
viewing position of the working area, which<br />
in turn aids the delivery of high quality<br />
clinical work.<br />
Made-to-measure<br />
When it comes to choosing loupes and<br />
a light there are many benefits to being<br />
measured by an expert in your own surgery,<br />
after all you wouldn’t expect your patients<br />
to make their own crowns.<br />
When I visit a practice to help a dentist<br />
select a pair of loupes I like to find out what<br />
kind of magnification they are currently<br />
using and if they have any difficulties<br />
with their posture. I then observe them<br />
in their normal working position and<br />
discuss the kind of work they are doing,<br />
general dentistry or more specialist work,<br />
which might require a higher level of<br />
magnification.<br />
Measuring and more measuring<br />
As part of the consultation process I take<br />
many detailed measurements of a dentist’s<br />
working position and face, in addition to<br />
taking some personal details. All this builds<br />
a picture, giving me the information I need<br />
to advise on the best loupes for you. This<br />
ensures that the loupes are perfect for you<br />
and allow you to work in a correct position.<br />
As a trained dispensing optician, I wonder<br />
how anyone seriously thinks that they can<br />
buy a pair of loupes that are fit for purpose<br />
from an online website (it’s impossible to<br />
take your own measurements), or from<br />
companies without the proper training,<br />
expertise or experience.<br />
Custom-measured, expertly fitted loupes<br />
will deliver fantastic vision, comfort, style,<br />
and many years of excellent service.<br />
In the overall scheme of things, if you take<br />
your dentistry seriously, buying custommade<br />
loupes and a light is really an<br />
investment in yourself and helps you deliver<br />
comfortable and high quality dentistry.<br />
